In June I will reach the mile stone of 60 years, yes I can hear you all saying never, cannot be that old and I thank you for those thoughts. To celebrate this mile stone I intend to complete a challenge of mega proportions. No skydiving jump from 30,000 feet or abseiling down a mountain side, nothing as daring or risky as that!!

No my plan is to walk around the relatively small island of Jersey with Francesca, my son James partner and the mum to my lovely 2 grandsons. Jersey is only 9 miles by 5 miles so you would think well it can only be about 30 miles at the most! Wrong it is 48.1 miles around the coastal path with plenty of up hill and down dale, (I know as I have already walked the worst section as a training walk). The walk starts at 3 am and is all completed in the one day!So all I ask is a little support from anyone, however small 100% of donations will go to one of the 14 Jersey charities as shown on the web site link,All you need to do is click on the link below and support my challenge and I will do the rest (48.1 miles) and have a rest afterwards!
